Marathon Mania II
The Haverhill River Run 2010 did not disappoint. 18 boats roared off of the beach at 4:15PM and electrified the huge crowd in attendance. Defending Champ Mark Kurz broke out into the early lead with the legendary 110-J in hot pursuit.
At the 4.5 mile mark, Kurz was still leading with Bowman in second now being challenged by Hurricane Bill Forster. Ed O'Neil was leading the ASR's and Doug Pearsall the DSR's. By mile 9 Kurz was still out front but Forster passed Bowman and was running down Kurz.
As they came under the bridge at mile 13.5 Forster had passed Kurz! As they got into traffic overtaking the ASR backmarkers, Forster was actually pulling away and the crowd was now really making some noise.
Forster pulled off the upset as he appeared from under the bridge first to take the checkers with Kurz second, Teddy O'Neil leading the A's and Doug Pearsall leading the D's.
All of the Drivers were welcomed to a thunderous applause as they returned to the pits and headed to inspection.
Forster's day went from the Penthouse to the Outhouse when he came up 3 pounds short on weight moving Kurz into the number one position.
